Only played for 10 minutes on demo but it was enough to know it wasn't for me...So many great HO's out there, that this one reminds me of a game that was made 10 years ago...Not very good storyline, hint button isn't useful, directions are mute, no common "sparkles", just didn't hold interest..
Got out of game after 2 minutes....Looked better on screenshots than it actually plays...Graphics look like early '90's, "helps" you too much...Do not know IF there were any HO scenes or mini-games..Maybe an ok game for kids 11 and under but NOT for enthusiasts of HO games..

Give me paranormal, skeletons, ghosts, etc. for a Hidden Object game and I'm there!..This game title sounded very promising, but once I started playing the demo, I knew it wasn't for me...It would be an ok game for advanced beginner/intermediate player, but graphics are very flat, and "where to go" isn't clear...Like the characters, the storyline, hint button fairly good, but even with that in its favor, it couldn't hold my interest...
Love interactive Hidden Object games, but this great game takes it to another level !..You're a detective, just settling in for the night after solving another mystery when a loud knock comes to your door..Upon opening the door, you find of all things at the doorstep, a BABY!..Whirlwing into a car, crash, find the house to take the baby to and the mansion is filled with great mini-puzzles, interactive hidden object games and beautiful, crisp graphics!..This is a must buy for any Adventure or Hidden Object fanatic!...
Guess I'm just so used to some fabulous graphics, great puzzles and storylines, that games like this aren't my cup of tea....Storyline is ok---- no sparkles (except one HO# , items are odd to find, graphics aren't very spectacular....Would be find for a beginner, but can't see buying it, especially since it's a CE...#Only played 15 mins on demo)
Storyline is about a girl that has a connection to an old mirror left to her by her grandmother. Taking an impromptu trip on a hot air balloon and an ongoing dream, she discovers that she is actually a princess, brought to an enchanted island. The imprisoned creatures are actually subjects and have been changed by an evil princess... This is a very good game for beginners to learn on how to play Hidden Object games...Mini games are simple, hint button is very quick, teaches how you have to "walk around", collecting inventory and where to use the items...Graphics are okay, not as great as most of BF HO's, but again, good for beginners.....
This COULD have been a great game, but alas, it falls short of the great games BF puts out...Graphics are fairly flat--"sparkle" areas of interest are there but you have to look closely...Mini games are easy---HO's #not many as far as demo goes# have small items, but take your time as the demo is very,very short...Interactive HO's where you find "pieces" are equally small in nature, but again, take your time..Map is ok, but really don't need it...VERY slow to react once you've found items or have completed a task..Like the idea that you have to perform favors for the wierd townsfolks #series of 3#...Not too hard to do...Ok to play, just not to buy for me..
I am a huge fan of the Midnight Mysteries series--love the Edgar Allen Poe one the best...This sequel, by HotLave, is indeed a great addition!..Follow the ghost of President Abraham Lincoln to find out the conspiracy and the hidden treasure!..Great graphics, easy HO's, excellent mini-games, not too hard, not too easy....A must have for the Midnight Mysteries series player!
Bought the original Enigmatis a long time ago and play it over and over because of the great storyline, graphics and overall gameplay...This sequel is equally strong in all the above!...Great follow-up story to the original, has wonderful graphics, a map to help show where you need to go, the on-going evidence map, great HO's (not too many) and good mini games...Can't wait to purchase!
With a perfectly chilling atmosphere and beautifully crafted scenes, Into the Haze will provide a fantastic, horror-filled experience that you'll never forget!
Strangely enough, got to play the entire game thru another game site...Storyline about a missing husband and niece isn't great, since it's been done time and time again...However, dialogue and "notes" aren't too bad at disturbing game play...Graphics are fairly good, but not overly stand out-ish...Usually only have 3-4 things to do in each scene---HO's aren't bad--items are easy to find and good sized...Mini games are simple...Wish they wouldn't have "wasted" so much space in the scenes where there could have been more interaction..Have to travel a bit---no map...All in all, not a bad game for beginners..
